Seeing how DB2 and DB3 arrived on a Wednesday, dare we hope once again this week? (Ignoring the DB3 2nd for PB)
Yep, I'm hoping for DB4 (iOS and MacOS) today.
I don't have any major issues with either, but I just like new things (that don't cost anything).

Good morning! Happy Wednesday!
Expecting a new Beta 4 today as well. I hope we are blessed by it
Let's get it! 🏁

I hope so too. My spotlight search is utterly broken, I still have the keyboard issues, and Maps can’t locate me unless I restart the app amongst other issues on my 14 PM.
Typically, I'd suggest re-installing the beta (assuming you've already done a hard reset of course) but today, instead, I'd recommend doing what you are doing - hoping for db4!

The struggle is real. Some of the people here did predict next week… 😩
I think He is wrong about this I think it will be out today plus the re-release doesn't count as major beta it counts as a minor to fix or add some security, not regular update.
Didn’t WWDC come a little early this year though? I would rely more on the history of lengths of betas here: http://www.thinkybits.com/blog/iOS-versions/
Beta 3 does seem like one of the betas that is more likely to last 3 weeks though based on history.

As you can see the beta 4 release variance is fairly wide. Notice some dates repeat twice but not three times in the last so many years. Does Apple want to appear predictable?
Since you’ve said that, I’m now more confident it’s next week, after your posts back around the 4th July and you were adamant it would come out despite being a public holiday 😋😜
Nothing today since today is a National Hot Dog Day.
It's coming. I can sense it.
Nah nah… tomorrow on my birthday beta 4 will drop. 😁

I took a power nap and just realized it's 10:28 AM in Cupertino. We got nothing today...
Next week it is?
Next week it is?
Still going on this week prediction, another 2 days then Wednesday to go. Of course there’s always something later today maybe.
Pretty sure we can all have a few days off in the knowledge it’s coming next week now. Tuesday, next week 😜

It might come tomorrow but chances seem unlikely at this point. Next week it so. Craving 🌭Still going on this week prediction, another 2 days then Wednesday to go. Of course there’s always something later today maybe.

Again, fully expecting 16.6 public release to come Monday and 17 b4 Tuesday.
And I’m back. Finally figured out why this thread was completely hidden from me.
Come on late afternoon release Apple! Like someone else said I’m here for the fun of updating and looking for new stuff rather than needing any particular bug resolved as my experience has been smooth sailing.

For what I’m understanding they launch then when it’s ready. We can see it this week or next, we will only know when they launch it.If you add some older examples
